It’s Official: Now at +11 Degrees F. We are facing a beyond catastrophic failure in the Planet’s atmospheric systems.

The International Energy Agency (IEA) says to fully expect 11 degrees F increase in Global Temps.  An +11 Degree F trajectory puts the start of severe catastrophic environmental chaos as early as 2015 and as late as 2030.  The Washington/1% nexus has determined that Carbon Sequestration – paid by the 99% - while be the only option.

What happened at capping it at 2 degrees Celcius??  (3.8 F)

 

It’s only 2012 at +11 Degrees F and we haven’t even started serious abatement efforts?!?  We are easily in a Planetary Thermal Maximum at plus 11.

 

Use the NDAA to arrest any and all parties that are engaged in thwarting climate controls - IMMEDIATELY.

The 2005 Plan of Action

 

You don't hear much about it, but Bush-Cheney in 2005 endorsed a plan to bail us out of this mess and we're still following their script. Back then, the G8 nations, led by the U.S., formally adopted a "Plan of Action." In it, the G8 (Canada, England, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, and the U.S.) committed to building a global infrastructure for "carbon capture and storage" (CCS), which means burying carbon dioxide (CO2) in the ground. Now, seven years later, that infrastructure is being built worldwide. The centerpiece is the Global CCS Institute created in 2009. (The "S" in CCS can stand for "sequestration" or "storage" but it's the same thing -- burying pressurized CO2 in liquid form about a mile below ground.)

 

CCS is by no means the only strategy in the 2005 Plan of Action -- there's plenty about efficiency (doing more with less) and renewable energy (solar, wind, and so forth). But the U.S. is playing down efficiency and renewables in favor of fracking for natural gas and mountaintop removal mining for coal, both of which produce CO2. Therefore the plan says we'll develop CCS, which is a get-out-of-jail-free card for fossil fuel corporations. With CCS, we could continue burning fossil fuels as long as they last and pass the CO2 on to our grandchildren's grandchildren to worry about, manage, and pay for.

 

CCS is being readied for that time when the chaos, heat and misery from global warming become intolerable and people start begging (or rioting) for relief -- say, sometime between 2015 and 2030. If history is any guide, the 1 percent will use the crisis to stampede us into paying for their escape plan, which they're quietly preparing now. Although there are very few actual in-the-ground demonstrations of CCS today, in preparation for large-scale operations there are now hundreds of regional consortiums, research groups, think tanks, policy initiatives, interdisciplinary collaborations, engineering firms, trade associations, consultants, risk assessors, mathematical modelers, environmental impact assessors, public opinion managers, professional conferences, technical workshops, national laboratories, other federal, state and provincial government agencies, international agreements and treaties, summer schools, university degree programs, environmental organizations, and philanthropic foundations -- all committed to the plan to bury CO2 in the ground.

 

 

Two things are blocking the road ahead for CCS -- lack of funds and a skeptical public. The fossil corporations don't want to pay to bury CO2 -- that's for taxpayers, as they see it. And members of the public living near proposed burial sites are simply asking, "Are you crazy?" Yes, CO2 is familiar as the fizzy in soda and beer (and yes, you exhale CO2 as you breathe), but when CO2 gets loose in concentrated form it creates an invisible puddle on the ground, which excludes oxygen, rapidly killing everything in its path. A rare natural eruption of CO2 from the bottom of Lake Nyos in Cameroon in 1986 asphyxiated 1,746 people in their sleep. Few people want to live anywhere near a huge, buried puddle of liquid CO2 that might one day leak.

Would you mind editing the

Would you mind editing the post? I can't read it well as it seems to go off the page.

I sure agree with you about the general thrust of it, though.

Also, have another question for you, if the global warmer deniers are proven to know their actions are damaging the planet and they do so anyway -- perhaps knowing that global warming related flooding causes people to lose their lives -- should these lying deniers -- such as the Koch brothers and others of their ilk --l be tried for manslaughter?

Yours,

Caleb

Is Mankind approaching peak

Is Mankind approaching peak population?

The Problem with the “Bio-Dome” as a solution to a hostile planet:

 

Sure you can build it but is the solution to our problem of a world rapidly becoming increasingly inhospitable to life? No. Maybe a select few will linger on in one of this contraptions, but sooner or later they will succumb to problems generated by our failing atmospheric system that we can't even fathom. Stephen Hawking was right - mankind needs to somehow get off the planet and set up shop someplace else or we are inevitably doomed.

 

Couple more things. Such "bio dome" things will have to accommodate billions of people. I wonder if the very act of building them wouldn't by the manufacturing push that seals our fate. Not to mention the fact that we haven't even started large scale production and I doubt we could finish to "save" that many people. And another thing, for mankind to thrive, expand and grow people are going to reach beyond such structures. They are going to have to pull additional resources "outside" and move them "inside". That is going to be problem. The outside is going to be, for all intents and purposes, dead and toxic, not to mention the fact that pulling these additional resources inside is going to take tremendous energy and involve bad consequences itself.

 

The presumption is these structures will be generational.  Therefore, you’ll need to deal with the problem of genetic isolation and in breeding. Also, long term exposure to contained environments like bubbles and buildings will frustrate the proper development of the immune system and this will create a wide – very wide – assortment of debilitating health problems.
